What I do
What works well should look good too, right? I design and build both the (UI) frontend and the backend. And of course I think along to make sure your project performs fast and smoothly, pixel perfect on every screen and device.
Research
Good design starts with understanding. I get to know your users through interviews, usability testing and data, so we build on real insight instead of assumptions, and you know a feature works before it ships.
Journey
The best experiences are mapped, not improvised. Together we chart every step your customer takes, spot where they get stuck and where the opportunities are, so every touchpoint moves them forward.
Design
Interfaces that feel logical and natural, because I design them from the user's point of view. Flows, wireframes and a polished, intuitive design that fits the goals of the project.
Frontend
Fast, accessible and sharp. I build in a strategic, scalable way, with components that future team members and developers will still understand a few years from now.
Backend
What looks good has to work well too, of course. APIs, databases and integrations that run reliably and securely. Logic that makes sure your data and your users' data is handled and stored safely.
Product
Got an idea or a product that still only exists in your head? I can help you through the whole journey: from the first sketch and data model to deployment and your first users.
Strategy
Together we translate your ambitions into a clear roadmap: what we build first, what delivers the most value and how the product grows from there.
Advice
Which tools fit your product and team? I take a fresh look at your stack and your code, and give concrete advice on where the biggest wins are.
Support
I keep your product fast, secure and up to date, and build further on what users actually do. With one dedicated point of contact for questions and changes.
I work with a wide range of tools and languages, depending on the project and the needs of the team. This is the tooling I generally work with every day, and what I bring in when a project calls for it.

Nuxt
Tailwind CSS
TypeScript
JavaScript

DockerI start with what you want to achieve and for whom. Together we choose what truly adds value, and we build that well.
I pick tools that suit your project and your team, and that have already proven themselves.
Maintainable interfaces and scalable backends, so your product grows along with your business.
